Adaptation and Psychotherapy

This book provides a concentrated but complete picture of Robert Langs’s adaptive clinical theory and expands it by examining Carl Jung’s theory of adaptation.

It articulates Jung’s positive and clinical understanding of adaptation, allowing for a comparison and creative synthesis of the two approaches.

The result is a development of Langs’s adaptive paradigm and an expansion of clinical theory and technique valuable for both Freudian and Jungian analysts.

The book highlights the relevance of adaptation to clinical practice, supplementing Jung’s psychology with Langsian innovations and reiterating the timeless resonance of Jung’s broader conception of individuation.
